Default Trans Braces?!
Which one holds up the best? The ECS, PFADT or DTE? So many options, so little money lol...

What do you mean by holds up the best? The Pfadt and the DTE/ECS are not designed to do the same thing. The DTE/ECS is designed to strengthen the transmission to differential joint, the Pfadt is not.

I could be biased, but I prefer the ECS trans brace myself.

Curious, how much of an increase in drivetrain noise did you notice?

I dont notice any extra noise however I do notice vibration. Thats part of the trade off though. I hope to be making well over 1000 and rubber mounts just wont work for my setup.

OK, I'm feeling generous. $369 for the guys who posted in here.

We have 6 C5 manual braces left, we just had an unexpected large order placed last week that cleared us out, so after those 5-6 sell, we will have a two to three week wait until we are restocked from today.
